≥ You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the walls
or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.
≥ Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate
procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that may not
have strong enough support. Improper attachment may result in
damage to the wall or speakers.
≥ Use a string of less than ‰2.0 mm, which is capable of supporting over
10 kg.
e.g. [PT980]

String (not included)
Thread from the wall to the
speaker and tie tightly.

If this occurs, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.
The demagnetising function of the TV should correct the problem. If it
persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.

Caution
≥ The main unit and supplied speakers are to be used only as
indicated in this setup. Failure to do so may lead to damage to
the amplifier and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of
fire. Consult a qualified service person if damage has occurred
or if you experience a sudden change in performance.
≥ Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using
methods other than those described in this manual.

Caution
≥ Do not stand on the base. Be cautious when children are near.
≥ When carrying the speaker, hold the stand and base parts.

step 2

Positioning

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field.
Note the following points:
≥ Place speakers on flat secure bases.
≥ Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in
excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.
[Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.
Setup example (“Surround layout (Recommended)”: Standard
surround placement)
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the
same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are
approximate.
Center speaker§2

You can enjoy surround speaker sound
wirelessly when you use the optional
Panasonic wireless accessory (SH-FX71).
For details, please refer to the operating
instructions for the optional Panasonic wireless
accessory.

Main unit§1

step 3

Connections

Turn off all equipment before connection and read the appropriate
operating instructions.

Quick Start Guide

Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.

Do not connect the AC mains lead until all other
connections are completed.

Speaker connections

Pay attention to the type of speaker and the connector colour when you
place the speakers.
Main unit (rear)
Connect to the terminals of the same colour.
Use of the speaker cable stickers is convenient when making cable
connections.

§1 Position with at least 5 cm of space on all sides for proper
ventilation.
§2 Put on a rack or shelf. Vibration caused by the speaker can disrupt
the picture if it is placed directly on the TV.
§3 Place to the right or left of the TV, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so
that it will not cause vibration. Leave about 30 cm from the TV.
Depending on the room layout, you may like to use all the speakers at
the front (“Front layout (Alternative)”) (B 9, EASY SETUP settings).

Notes on speaker use
≥Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound quality will be
negatively affected.
≥ You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play
sound at high levels over extended periods.
≥ Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage:
– When playing distorted sound.
– When the speakers are reverberating due to a record player, a
microphone, noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from
an oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument.
– When adjusting the sound quality.
– When turning the unit on or off.

If irregular colouring occurs on your TV
The center speaker is designed to be used close to a TV, but the picture
may be affected with some TVs and setup combinations.

Safety precautions

AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not damaged. Poor
connection and lead damage can cause fire or electric shock. Do not pull,
bend, or place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC mains
lead can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric shock.

Getting Started

Voltage
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit and
cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when setting
the unit up on a ship or other places where DC is used.

Foreign matter
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric shock
or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or
malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the
power supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain flammable
gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.

Service
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is interrupted,
indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other problem that is not
covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect the AC mains lead and
contact your dealer or an authorized service center. Electric shock or
damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, disassembled or
reconstructed by unqualified persons.

Playing Discs

Placement
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high
temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These conditions
can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby shortening the
unit’s service life.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power source if it
is not to be used for a long time.

For your safety, please read the following text carefully.
This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your
safety and convenience.
A 5-ampere fuse is fitted in this plug.
Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the replacement
fuse has a rating of 5-ampere and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to
BS1362.
Check for the ASTA mark Ï or the BSI mark Ì on the body of the fuse.
If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is
refitted when the fuse is replaced.
If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement
cover is obtained.
A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local dealer.

CAUTION!

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE
EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE LETTER
E, BY THE EARTH SYMBOL Ó OR COLOURED GREEN OR
GREEN/YELLOW.
THIS PLUG IS NOT WATERPROOF—KEEP DRY.
Before use
Remove the connector cover.

How to replace the fuse
The location of the fuse differ according to the type of AC mains plug
(figures A and B). Confirm the AC mains plug fitted and follow the
instructions below.
Illustrations may differ from actual AC mains plug.
1. Open the fuse cover with a screwdriver.

Figure A

Figure B
Fuse cover

IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE
SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE
REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY.
THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE
CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13-AMPERE SOCKET.
If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as stated
below.
If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
code:
Blue: Neutral, Brown: Live.
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter N or coloured Black or Blue.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or coloured Brown or Red.

Reference

(“GS” area code model only)

2. Replace the fuse and close or attach the fuse cover.
